1.5. Disclaimer and Safety
The 10-bit DC Series CompactPCI/PXI digitizers have been designed to operate inside a CompactPCI/PXI crate. The
crate provides the modules with all needed power. Agilent does not recommend operation of the DC Series modules
outside of a CompactPCI/PXI crate.
CAUTION: Do not exceed the maximum input voltage rating! The maximum input voltage for 50
Ω
input
impedance is
±
5 V. The maximum input for 1 M
Ω
input impedance is
±
300 V (dc + ac).
1.6. Warning Regarding Medical Use
The Digitizer cards are not designed with components and testing procedures that would ensure a level of reliability
suitable for use in treatment and diagnosis of humans. Applications of these cards involving medical or clinical
treatment can create a potential for accidental injury caused by product failure, or by errors on the part of the user.
These cards are not intended to be a substitute for any form of established process or equipment used to monitor or
safeguard human health and safety in medical treatment.
WARNING: The modules discussed in this manual have not been designed for making direct measurements
on the human body. Users who connect an Acqiris module to a human body do so at their own
risk.
